Nice to have a suspension again :)
I have been driving my wife's C350 lots lately and am really enjoying the difference between it and my E55k. The feel on the curves is SWEET and the feedback through the steering wheel is awesome!! Very BMW like, IMO. Add to that a few suspension upgrades and it should be a fun car for some tighter roads (I hope). There are not too many parts yet for these, but the W204 is new and I am sure more is coming. Wheels and coil-overs are in process and I got the strut brace today. Nice piece and it reminded me of my M3 days.
Anyone know how wide of wheels and rims will fit on these cars? I will stay with 18" but want NO rubbing and max traction.

my girlfriend has a 330i new style. The steering wheel feels like it has no power steering... I don't like it at all. Not to mention it's falling apart... with pieces come off randomly.

white and whiter
it's not really exaggeration. "like" is the keyword. jangy didn't say it's on par with the bimmer steering, but rather it feels more like a bimmer than ever.

Current C-class steering feel is very close to current BMW 5 series.
I owned E60 5 series for almost 3 years before this C. 3 series is too heavy.
5 series is much quieter than either 3 or C though.
